600 Monster Rider In Bristol
Hi all, thanks for adding me to the group. Just recently got a yellow 600 Monster 1997 and slowly working through all the problems I didn't see when I was buying it because I was so excited I could afford a Ducati! Needless to say it's going to be more expensive than I anticipated. But at least it will stay on the road. Look out for lots of questions..... Here's a pic from a sunny ride a few weeks ago. -
Ducati Owners Club South Australia Boxing Day Ride.
A good turn-out today for the annual Presidents Boxing Day ride here in South Australia. Good ride through the Adelaide Hills with a sunny 23* ending up at a pub for lunch.
That Desmosedici is LOUD - made my 1100 HM seem quiet when I was following it! -

Thanks To You All.
It's been another weird year of highs and lows, but the consistency has been the camaraderie of the Forum.
I have laughed, cried, expletived, and cheered at the amazing content and contributions from you all.
I am not sure I could have made it through 2021 without you.
Thanks to you all and best wishes for 2022.

998 Project Finished
Started taking bits off at start of lockdown to get to some flaky engine paint and never really stopped.
Finished a while back but life yet again got in the way. Only ridden 100 miles but it was a fantastic 100 miles and that’s what counts.
Removed engine, found oil leak on vertical cylinder. Painted engine by hand. Side cases powder coated, valve covers powder coated. Valves cleaned and lapped, all valve clearances now correct. Getting shims during lockdown was a ball ache. Exact fit belts fitted. Hand polished all pipes. Most fasteners replated at local place. All gaskets and O rings replaced. Ohlins shock serviced, spring powder coated. TPS reset, throttle bodies balanced. All bodywork repainted by dream machine. She looks and rides beautiful.mary hinge horse burger Dec 22, 2021 748 / 916 / 996 / 998 Read More Views: 4,464 Likes: 52 Replies: 45 -

Ducati Motoe Bike Takes To The Track For The First Time On The Misano Circuit
The Ducati MotoE bike took to the track for the first time at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, right where the agreement with Dorna Sports was announced in October. In fact, starting from the 2023 season, the Borgo Panigale motorcycle manufacturer will be the sole supplier of motorcycles for the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup, the electric class of the MotoGP™ World Championship.
The electric motorcycle prototype, code-named "V21L", is the result of the joint work of the Ducati Corse team and the Ducati R&D engineers, led by Roberto Canè, Ducati eMobility Director, and was taken out on track by Michele Pirro, professional rider and Ducati test rider since 2013, who evaluated the technical characteristics and potential of Ducati’s first electric motorcycle.
Roberto Canè, Ducati eMobility Director: “We are experiencing a truly extraordinary moment. I find it hard to believe it is reality and still not a dream! The first electric Ducati on the track is exceptional not only for... -

1 Owner 40 Year Old Kawasaki
So I can’t really play dumb and pretend it was the booze like when I bought my 996s last month
I’m at that age where we start feeling like old farts and start collecting all the old stuff we once had as youngsters. Latest one is a bike my dad owned from brand new in 1981 and I also had one and did around 100k on touring around South Africa on at the same time. I was scouring the usual haunts like eBay etc and last week the unicorn showed up. Smashed in a bid with 10 seconds to go and the deal was done !
what is it I hear you ask ? Behold this fine specimen of a 1981 Kawasaki KZ1100 shaft drive with full Craig Vetter luggage kit supplied and fitted at POS by Kawasaki. It has covered a mere 5000 miles from brand new and is still rocking the original Dunlop Cold Steel tyres
Best bit is battery still had life in it and it barked into life on the press of the button !!!!! Carbs will need a good clean though as it’s a bit stuttery low down.
I have the original title... -

V4 ….back To The V4
So….. my 1199 lasted 102 days before the desire to get another V4 finally took hold and I ended up in Norwich to collect this 2020 base model V4…..
This is how she was when I picked her up yesterday… however i have a few mods to put on her which will make it look a little different. And of course I’ll pop them on the thread for everyone’s enjoyment and amusement
Booked on to Portimao with NL in May 2022 and will no doubt do a few UK days before hand. Nothing against the 1199, it was a bit of a beast with the JHP engine work and other modifications but I just missed the awesomeness of the panigale V4. Roll on spring 2022 -

New Tractor
Ok, so I didnt want to poison the PP thread anymore.
Waited, seen it, seen the price, weighed up what I want/like. Then placed order for another GS. Forgive for I have sinned. Again.
Anyway. HP colours. Heated seats. Long warranty and servicing included (offer atm.)
Always an element of luck with new bikes/cars, but if it is as reliable as my previous 3 BMW motorcycles...then amazing as that has been 100%
Forums eh? you would think everything self detonates just after leaving the forecourt! -
